Julian, An additional factor, worth considering, is that the UK currently only has 3 official languages. English, Welsh and British Sign Language. Given the fact that many people who sign have English as their second language, not their first, and given the frequency with which Welsh content is presented on UK based pages, then this is a language balance that clearly needs some thought.

My gut feeling is that this is taking things too far and anybody that is deaf or dumb would be able to read normal text so the sign language would be unnecessary. Am I wrong? Any feedback would be appreciated. Cheers, Julian Voelcker Cirencester, United Kingdom
